Zusammenfassung:
In a number of criminal law cases, defendants are accused of using language to defraud. The evidence often provides analyzable language that provides clues to the ways that the alleged fraud took place, but in some cases linguistic analysis can show some or all of the accusations to be unjustified. This book describes eight types of fraud cases growing out of the complex laws regulating commercial businesses and individuals in which defendants were accused of fraudulently failing to follow federal requirements relating to carrying out government contracts, resource conservation, corrupt foreign business practice, buying or selling trade secrets, money laundering, securities sales, price-fixing, and insurance contracts.
